Adjudication, Treorchy 2006
1. Sense of nobility and dynamic shape
2. Strange mix of vibs in horns. Alla marcia is coming across. "F" Clear textures. Good into tempo primo.
3. Don't let articulations stop the flow of music. "H" Not sure about balance here. Well done basses. "I". After "K" should be p espress. "M" Well done cornets. Before "M" wasn't accented on score.
4. Loud start doesn't give flugel much hope for p cresc. Much of this is too loud. I'm afraid it detracts from potential beauty. Poco piu mosso ??? weak. Tempo 1, I would like the trombones to be clearer. Rhythm isn't always tight. Shame about the last chord.
5. Bell effect works. Presto not totally together. Where's the accel come from?. "V" Well done. "W" We don't need the accents. "Z" Quite well handled.
Some impressive playing, but the atmospheres aren't always ???? and some strange lapses in attention to detail. Overall though very impressive.
